Simply insane. Taking vcv rack to a whole new level and passing on your knowledge for free for everyone to improve. A real pioneer of a new era of modular synthesis.
The VCV right click text field has support for mathematical statements! You can enter the fraction "7/12" to set the voltage to a perfect perfect fifth. (A perfect fifth is seven semitones and each octave is divided evenly into twelve semitones). If you wanted the perfect fifth an octave up, you could enter "1 + 7/12". In fact, if you get tired of typing "1" you can even type in "sin(pi/2)" and VCV will understand you. This is built into the framework so it works with every module. You can set the cutoff of Tangents to "pi/10", whatever you want, go crazy!
That's not a really perfect fifth though it's slightly out of tune because of the even tempered scale. 7/12 is a couple of cents flat compared to a violinist or singer's perfect fifth.
I will always be amazed by your creativity ! Even with a pretty simple patch and "basic" modules you have some really interseting result. You're also a great teacher, each time I watch one of your video I learn new things and have new ideas ! Thank you !
I loved this... very inspiring! What fascinated me is how I didn't see the potential of the sound you were creating until you added delay and reverb to it. (Reverb is Life! I'm a believer!) I'm new to music terminology, so I had to look up the definition of "pad". I think I get it now. It makes sense to use octaves and fifths as offsets. Are there other offsets that can have good results? I don't know if I would have figured out on my own the need for a quantizer on top of the summed V/OCT signal... that was not obvious, so I'm glad you explained it.
Thanks! Yeah, the delay and reverb really bring everything together. I'm also not so sure about the term 'pad' but this is the only thing I could think of I guess. About the offsets, it all depends on which notes you're playing. But since I added the quantizer, everything should work, more or less. This is a tricky and quite deep of a subject though so I think experimentation is needed.
Absolutely fantastic! Love the technique and results. I’ve been looking for a solid pad tutorial on vcv and this is my favorite so far. Very Blade Runner. I added some noise in the mix with the vco and got extra lovely textures (love the red noise for this). Thanks Omri!
I like a lot the idea of enhanced playing! Very cool man. But there's something I still don't get after re watching the video, why is it that the sequencers have to get à polyphonic clock ? I don't understand how the clock makes the sequencers trigger 5 voices, and how these translate to the 5 notes played by the vco. Even though your polyphony video unveiled a lot for me (thank you do much again), some things still confuse me.
Hi! Well, imagine polyphony as having one patch cable with multiple patch cables inside. In this example, I'm mixing the polyphonic pitch information from the Midi module with the sequencers. I'm using 5 channels of polyphony so inside the polyphonic cables there are 5 individual cables. If the sequencers will stay monophonic, they will send pitch only through one of these cables so only one of the voices will be transposed. You can test it as well, just set the PolyMult to 1 and you will be able to hear only one voice being transposed. Multiplying the sequencer makes sure that they will go to all 5 voices. I hope it makes sense...
I went away from VCV for about a year (when I also watched Omri) to focus on the DAW. Now I am back loving VCV thanks to Omri again! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Fantastic. I am so glad I discovered this channel and will be making a point of recommending it to whoever I know that is using VCV rack from now on. Can't wait to watch more of this useful, informative and well explained content.

I appreciate it, thank you! I enjoy what I do and I'm grateful that other people enjoy my work as well :)

@@PiersCawley It's a perfect perfect fifth in 12-TET, the tuning being used.
The production quality and teaching techniques just keep getting better and better! You put a lot of work into these videos and it shows. 🍄♥
I appreciate it, thank you!
Wow!!! Love the polyphony!!! 🤩🌌🎶
Thanks!
Another great video for beginners like me! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hehe using that cheeky little polymult I see. And yeah goes to show that a bit of reverb effect goes a long way

Another great one, Omri!👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful etherial soundscape. Thank you so much for the walkthrough.
Glad you enjoyed it!

This was eye-opening! What a great use for sequencers, ways new to me. Fantastic. Thanks for all you do.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing, very, very beautiful...from naples-italy
Thank you very much!

Oh nice! Yes, noise can work great here. Cheers!
I love those "from scratch" things - great 🙂
Cheers!
Not music related but... what are you using to control the video stream? That touchscreen we se at the left of your setup.
Hi, that's the Elgato Stream Deck. It's quite handy for these type of things.
I def did enjoy this video… i wanted you to keep jamming haha that sounded real nice
Thanks so much!
Thanks for this, Omri! After more than 2 years into VCV I still learn new things from your videos. Cheers!
I appreciate it!
Hi Omri, great VID. Love it and big THX :)
Hey, thanks!
You are the absolute best out there, Omri. Hands down. Thank you for being you!

@@OmriCohen-Music thank you very much for taking the time to answer!!! It does indeed make sense now.
absolutely mindblowing...such a simple patch can sound like this
Glad you like it!
So much inspiration, the ideas just pops up. Thank you!!
Thanks!
Wow. This is dope! Thanks!!
Cheers!
Very Cool !💯💫🖐🖐🖐
Thanks ✌️
This is so amazing Omri you are realy the big boss big teacher of modular !!!!!! this patch is like a ALIEN Musik Machine 😁😁😀😀🤩🤩❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much!

Welcome back! :)
Great Tutorial thanks. I've been using VCV for just over a week now and these videos have been a huge help. very well presented and easy to follow.
Thanks so much!

That stream deck adds so much production value. I love it. Thanks for being you Omri, and thanks for sharing this wonderful knowledge.
Thank you so much!
wow! beautiful! there is not so many modules, and they are pretty simples, but the result is both creative and great sounding!
Hey, Pyer, thanks so much!
Great video, Omri, thank you! You always inspire me to try new things in VCV!
Thanks so much!
Thank you it was a lot of fun building this patch while you describe. Better to build than us the patch file!
Have fun!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Very instructive and useful, thanks Omri !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Magnifique !
Thanks!
Great sounding Patch !! Thank You ! !
Glad you like it!
Nice one Omri a very powerful sound.
Glad you liked it :)
Totally Radical!! Thanks OC!
Cheers!
Awesone, keep it comming ;-)
